Italianhair Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 Looking excellent and the best is yet to come! One question, did you remove the crust yourself or did they do it at the clinic? Did you use just water to soften the skin before the scab removal or did you apply shampoo? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member mtb Posted May 14, 2023 Author Regular Member Share Posted May 14, 2023 Almost to the point where I no longer wear a hat to the gym. Left corner growing in slower than right. Still thin on top but it gets a little thicker each week. From this: 4 months photos coming later this week. 3 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member hairman22 Posted May 15, 2023 Senior Member Share Posted May 15, 2023 @mtb How do you feel about your hairline hright? I think it looks excellent not too high or low and saves grafts for rest of your scalp Looks like super progress. i eould suggest a fade on the sides . Donor recovering well too judging from the sides your hair to scalp color contrast will work well in your favour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member ScottishGuy21 Posted May 15, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted May 15, 2023 This has the potential to be an all time great. Can we have a pic of your donor areas too? It’s nice to see more Zarev patients on forums because until now they’ve been fairly rare. The body of work that is out there is as good as you can get. His techniques are proving to be revolutionary in the field. Barring a leap in regrowing hair this is the pinnacle of the industry right now. Norwood 7, on course for full coverage in 1 procedure and a healthy looking donor area too. Elite surgeon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member mr_peanutbutter Posted May 15, 2023 Senior Member Share Posted May 15, 2023 what was the haircalibre again? looks like rather thin hair. holy smoke, makes the result probably even more impressive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Benz Posted May 16, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted May 16, 2023 It looks perfect. You are going to be a solid NW 1-1.5.

Donor recovering well too judging from the sides your hair to scalp color contrast will work well in your favour Half the time I think it's too high. Half the time I think it's perfect. The amount of grafts I'd have to use to lower vs. using those grafts to thicken the donor area will probably mean I leave it where it is. the other option is to put beard in teh crown and midscalp and use my scalp grafts to push the hairline down, but Dr. Zarev isn't a big fan of beard grafts. I'm 40 now. If I was 27 or something I'd probably try to lower it but it's less of an issue now. On 5/15/2023 at 4:26 AM, ScottishGuy21 said: This has the potential to be an all time great.

Senior Member HugoX Posted May 16, 2023 Senior Member Share Posted May 16, 2023 When that hairline thickens and grows you won't think of it as high as you do now and as you say, you are 40 now, this is the hairline that you will keep as 50, 60, 70..

Senior Member hairman22 Posted May 16, 2023 Senior Member Share Posted May 16, 2023 @mtb looks amazing for 4 months crown which takes longer growing well too donor looking very good too. 4-6 month mark is when you experience most growth from my experience 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wally West Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 Wow the crown looks great for only 4 months, amazing growth so early on! I agree about the hairline - it will suit you right into your 70s and with a bit of length it’ll look way better imo. Its a little high but not super high. Zarev had done a really nice natural design. Also, I would wait and see how the crown density looks once it has fully grown in as that area can eat up so many grafts. That said, if you can lower it a little without sacrificing the density of the mid scalp and crown too much, then why not. Do what you think is best.

Yes, they told me 1 -1.5 year till surgery from a consult. So it's total 3.5 - 4 years I think there will be many cancellations due to this long period of waiting.
